TY - BOOK AU - Collins,John C. TI - Foundations of perturbative QCD SN - 9780521855334 PY - 2011/// CY - Cambridge, New York PB - Cambridge University Press KW - Quantum chromodynamics N1 - Includes bibliographical references (p. 603-616) and index N2 - "The most non-trivial of the established microscopic theories of physics is QCD: the theory of the strong interaction. A critical link between theory and experiment is provided by the methods of perturbative QCD, notably the well-known factorization theorems. Giving an accurate account of the concepts, theorems and their justification, this book is a systematic treatment of perturbative QCD. As well as giving a mathematical treatment, the book relates the concepts to experimental data, giving strong motivations for the methods. It also examines in detail transverse-momentum-dependent parton densities, an increasingly important subject not normally treated in other books. Ideal for graduate students starting their work in high-energy physics, it will also interest experienced researchers wanting a clear account of the subject"-- Provided by publisher UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1201/2011000638-t.html ER -
